After they left, Li Xi sighed as she looked at the yard full of things, then resignedly began to clean up, putting the food aside, the things to use aside, and the things that looked nice aside.

By the time she had sorted out everything and put it in the warehouse, an hour had passed.

Li Xi straightened up and pounded his waist with his fist. It seemed that Gu Jingzhi's family was indeed a wealthy and powerful family. They gave him such a gift just because they arranged for their two children to attend Gu's family school.

If she gave out a few more admission places, their house would be filled with thank-you gifts. She had discovered a little trick to get rich.

But Li Xi was just thinking about it. Hu Zhenjiang and Feng Zelun were indebted to her for their favors, and she was indebted to Gu Jingzhi for his favors.

But Gu Jingzhi still owed her a favor, so the two could only offset each other. You know, money debts are easy to repay, but debts of love are hard to clear.

If she owed him too many favors, how would she be able to justify taking money from him? Forget it, she still preferred watermelon, so sesame seeds were fine. She was not greedy.

Gu Jingzhi didn’t know that he had escaped a disaster, but maybe he just liked to make Li Xi owe him a favor.

"The battlefield has been counted. Three hundred of our soldiers were slightly injured, twenty were seriously injured, and no one was killed. Five thousand Huns were killed and two thousand were captured. The Left Wise King Wu Hubi led a small team to break through and escape to the grassland."

The war was over, so there was no need for Gu Jingzhi to hide behind others anymore, so he "alive".

For Gu Changfeng, this was an open war, and a war in which only the Huns had open cards. All the advantages were in his Zhenbei Army. The victory was not surprising because it was foreseeable.

Wuhubi is his old rival, and Gu Changfeng knows him quite well.

The position of Zuo Xian Wang in the Xiongnu was second only to the Chanyu, but Wuhubi was ambitious and had no talent. He could only reach the position of Zuo Xian Wang because of his father, who was the previous Chanyu.

Although Wuhubi is arrogant and conceited, he was the favorite son of the previous Chanyu Tuohong when he was alive. If he had not seen that Wuhubi was not fit to be a Chanyu, he would not have passed the throne to the current Chanyu.

Tuohong Chanyu was not only Wuhubi's father, but also the Chanyu of the Xiongnu. He was responsible for the entire Xiongnu.

Of course, there is another layer of relationship. He understands his son well. Even if he passes the position of Chanyu to Uhubi, Uhubi will not be able to protect it. Therefore, he cannot give him the position of Chanyu.

Although he could not give him the position of Chanyu, Chanyu Tuohong still gave the position of Zuo Xian Wang, the most precious position besides Chanyu, to his favorite son.

The current Chanyu Huhanye had no good feelings towards his younger brother, who was deeply loved by their father. As a result, although Uhuru was the Left Wise King, he was not actually respected and valued by the Xiongnu high-level officials because of this position. Therefore, he was always eager to achieve military exploits.

But unfortunately it never succeeded.

Last night, Gu Changfeng ordered his men to pretend that the guard was empty and sent people to keep an eye on Wuhubi in Jiayuguan. After receiving the report from the spies, he immediately organized his troops and led the Hun army into the trap that had been prepared for him long ago.

In the plan of Gu Changfeng and Gu Jingzhi, they not only ambushed enough people at the Jiayuguan city gate, but also sent out three teams to block the Huns' retreat.

In their pre-war plan, they had prepared so well that they could capture Wuhubi in this battle, but they didn't expect that he would still escape.

"Why didn't they catch Wuhubi? What went wrong?"

"When Wuhubi was retreating, he was blocked by Shi Hanshuo's team." Gu Jingzhi also felt that this was a good opportunity to capture Wuhubi, but he was allowed to escape.

"That shouldn't be a problem."

Shi Hanshuo's team was the most capable of the three teams responsible for interception. Wuhubi fled in panic, with only about fifty people following him.

But the team led by Shi Hanshuo has a total of 150 people, there is no way they can fail to defeat the fat-headed Wuhubi. Gu Changfeng couldn't help but start to have conspiracy theories in his mind. Could it be that there was a spy in the team who deliberately let Wuhubi run away?

"Hasn't the spies in the military camp been cleared out yet?"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head. "It shouldn't be. According to Shi Hanshuo's description, there was a fierce general beside Wuhubi, who was a good fighter who could fight ten people at once. He was the one who tried his best to protect Wuhubi and leave."

In the interception battle with Wuhubi, although they let Wuhubi run away, they also captured 35 Huns. It seems that Wuhubi was really lucky this time.

After hearing this, Gu Changfeng slammed the table hard, "He's lucky this time!"

Although it was very infuriating to let Wuhubi escape, they won a great victory in this battle. The Huns suffered heavy losses, and almost all of the Hun troops brought by Wuhubi were left in Jiayuguan.

In this battle against the Zhenbei Army, Wuhubi invested heavily and sent out an army of 100,000. These 100,000 soldiers came with the promise of promotion offered by Wuhubi, hoping that under his leadership they could break through Jiayuguan and rob money, treasures, and beautiful slaves.

Unfortunately, the moment they stepped out of the grassland, it was destined that everything was just a dream.

Only 20,000 of the 100,000-strong army escaped during the siege of the Zhenbei Army. Of the remaining 80,000 troops, 35,000 were killed, and the remaining 45,000 were all captured alive.

The loss of an army of 100,000 would certainly cause Wuhubi to suffer heavy losses, and the consumption of troops would make him unable to launch a large-scale war for a few years.

The defeat on this battlefield would certainly cause Wuhubi to be blamed by the Chanyu and despised by other Xiongnu forces.

Thinking of this, Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair. "Forget it. Since he escaped, he is lucky. But I know that his life will not be easy if he returns."

He was in such a state of panic with an army of 100,000 strong. If he were Huhanye Chanyu, he would have wanted to kill Wuhubi.

These 100,000 troops are not just Wuhubi's soldiers, they are also Huhanye's soldiers. He heard that Huhanye's health is not good now. Don't let him be angry to death by his stupid brother after hearing the news.

Hahaha.

"From now on, the people living on the border can enjoy a few good years." Gu Changfeng stood up and walked to Gu Jingzhi, patting his shoulder. "You are free now, so you can take care of your business."

Gu Jingzhi frowned when he heard this, "How come you are like your mother? A man should establish a career first and then start a family, but your son has no intention of starting a family yet."

Gu Changfeng looked at him with disdain, "Do you think I want to worry about you? It's your mother who nags at home every day."

But he likes his wife to talk about this brat every day, "Who said this bullshit? Why do I always hear that you should get married first and then start a career?

Tell me how old you are now. When I was your age, you could almost run away. "

Gu Jingzhi had thought about getting married before, but when he thought of the pretentious ladies from wealthy families that his mother had found for him, he declined the idea.

Hearing Gu Changfeng's advice, Gu Jingzhi felt no wavering at all. After all, this was not the first time he had heard these words.

"You can't rush this, just let it happen and let it flow."

Gu Changfeng glared, "Let it be, let it be! Every time I mention this, you always say let it be.

But you didn't see any of the girls your mother found for you. What's going on? Are you planning to find a wife out of nowhere?"

"That's not a bad idea." Gu Jingzhi said with a faint smile.

Gu Changfeng got even angrier after hearing that. He picked up the book on the table and threw it at him, "I'll let you do it!"

"Father, being angry is bad for your health, this is not right." Gu Jingzhi caught the book he threw at him with one hand, "There's no need to rush into this kind of thing.

Let’s talk about ethnic studies.”

In fact, Gu Changfeng was used to Gu Jingzhi's resistance to marriage. He didn't really care about it. He thought that this kid just didn't understand. He would just wait until he understood.

Just like he had never thought about getting married before he met his wife, but once he met her, it was like the old house was on fire and it was out of control.

But his wife doesn't think so. Whenever he goes back, she pulls him aside and talks about him. He is usually in the military camp, so when he goes back, he doesn't want to listen to his wife talking to him about this bad boy all the time.

When he heard Gu Jingzhi talking about clan studies, he knew that he was trying to change the subject. He was also tired of talking, so he simply moved on from the topic of urging them to get married.

"Clan studies? What is clan studies?"

Someone had indeed bothered him before because of clan studies matters, but he thought that it was all caused by this brat, so he simply threw it all to him.

Since everything was handed over to him, he naturally didn't pay any attention to the follow-up. He still trusted this brat to do the job.

Gu Jingzhi: He just knew it.

"You also know that the family school in the mansion was specially opened to retain Li Xi. Since the news spread, many generals in the army hope to send their children of school age there."

"It's nothing. If they want to send you, then let them. Su Jie is here. Two people is a teaching, and a group of people is also a teaching."

Speaking of this matter, Gu Changfeng has a very naive idea. Anyway, he is not the one teaching, so let others worry about it.

"Father, you are now a general of the highest rank, and you hold a powerful fist. Many people in the court are eyeing you covetously. If you get too close to the generals, it will definitely cause others to be suspicious of you without reason." Gu Jingzhi frowned slightly, "It's better to keep a low profile."

Gu Changfeng looked up at him and said, "Why are you being so low-key? I have nothing to hide. Why would I be afraid of those gossipy women?"

Gu Jingzhi was helpless, "You also know that they are gossipers, so why bother to say something that will make them gossip?

Your Majesty will trust father once or twice, but after too many times, it is hard not to be suspicious. "

Gu Changfeng thought about Emperor Jian'an, whom he hadn't seen for several years. "Don't worry. With our relationship, he will never doubt me, no matter who he is."

Gu Jingzhi: ...

He knew that his father and Jin Shang had a good friendship when they were young, but he never expected him to be so naive.

As the old saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in heaven.

There is no father-son relationship in the Heavenly Family, but he actually expected that His Majesty would believe him because of their youthful friendship.

"Father!" Gu Jingzhi looked at him disapprovingly.

Gu Changfeng waved his hand directly, "If I say it's okay, then it's okay."

Although Gu Changfeng kept emphasizing that everything was fine, how could Gu Jingzhi possibly listen to him? Not only that, he also felt that his father was used to staying in places like the border where the people were simple and honest, and had long forgotten the intrigues and deceptions in the officialdom of the capital and the struggles among court officials.

"Forget it," seeing that Gu Jingzhi had been disagreeing, Gu Changfeng suddenly changed his tone for some reason, "Anyway, I have already handed over the clan school affairs to you, you can handle it yourself."

Gu Jingzhi: ...

Suddenly I felt like I had punched cotton, so why had he been arguing for so long?

Gu Jingzhi left the tent in silence. Gu Changfeng looked at his son's back and shook his head in disgust. He was so young, but he was still worried about this and that. He really had no youthful spirit at all.

Two days later, Li Xi, together with Hu Zhenjiang and Feng Zelun, who had already settled their child, sent the child to Gu's family school.

The Gu Family School was not located in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, but in a house only ten meters away from the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Gu Jingzhi had already greeted the people there before, and Hu Jinyu and Feng Tianyou were soon enrolled in the school and became classmates with Hu Zi.

The three children reunited with their friends again. They were all very happy. Hu Zhenjiang and Feng Zelun were also very happy that their son could enter the Gu Family School. Seeing the smile on Hu Zi's face, Li Xi was also very happy.

A transfer that made everyone happy ended just like that.

Su Jie, who was preparing lessons in the clan school, suddenly sneezed and frowned. Who was plotting against him behind his back?

Su Jie guessed that it must be the two shameless father and son from the Gu family. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have been living in such dire straits these days.

He came here to retire, not to take care of children!

Su Jie put down the brush in his hand heavily! Since they came to learn from him, they should not blame him, the teacher, for being ruthless.

"Someone, go prepare another ten pieces of paper."

He can't kill them!

Poor Hu Zi and the other two don’t know what the future will bring. At this moment, they are happy to be reunited with their friends.

We had fought a big battle with the Huns, so we naturally couldn't hide it from the Emperor.

After sorting out the military achievements and casualties, Gu Changfeng wrote a memorial and had it sent to the capital at an emergency speed of eight hundred miles.

When the letter was delivered, Emperor Jian'an was holding a court meeting.

Ever since Emperor Jian'an lost his temper that day, the ministers in the court have been living in fear for the past few days. For a while, the court could not keep peaceful, and Emperor Jian'an was a little uncomfortable with it.

It was another "very harmonious" morning court. Emperor Jian'an saw that no one came to speak and was about to leave when he heard a hurried voice coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, urgent battle report from Jiayu Pass 800 miles away!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jian'an suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, looked at the entrance of the palace with a cold expression, and said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

Some of the court officials below looked frightened, some lowered their heads and remained silent, and some whispered something to the people beside them.

But at this moment, Emperor Jian'an had no time to take care of them at all.

Soon, a dark and strong man in armor walked into the hall, holding a painted bamboo tube in his hand.

Emperor Jian'an glanced at the bamboo tube in his hand and nodded to Ji'an beside him.

Ji An took three steps back, turned around and walked away, walked up to the dark and strong man, took the expedited battle report from him, and passed it on to Emperor Jian'an.
